The Selfish Gift - Go public with your purpose

What does it take to "go public" with your life's work? The Selfish Gift podcast is a series of deep, personal conversations with authors and creators about how they made the leap from practitioner to public figure. Hosted by Wonderwell book publisher Maggie Langrick, the podcast also serves up the very best advice from publishing professionals, from editors and literary agents to publicists, brand strategists, and mindset coaches. We ask ALL the big questions, like: When and why did you decide to "go public" with your life's work? How did you deal with self-doubt? What steps did you take, and how hard was it, really? Each of us has a unique gift to offer humanity. When we boldly share it with the world, we expand into the grandest version of ourselves and come fully alive. Listen in to discover how to level up your life and make the world a better place through purposeful publishing.

Awakening the Stories in Our Bodies with Lisa Weinert, Author and Founder of Narrative Healing

July 06, 2023 • Maggie Langrick • Season 2 • Episode 27

If you are drawn to creative writing as a way to process the events of your life, this episode is for you. Today's guest is the founder of an incredible community called Narrative Healing, a writing program that seeks to release our stories in a way that's both accessible and empowering.

After beginning her career in book publishing, Lisa Weinert eventually became a certified yoga instructor with a specialty in trauma-informed restorative yoga—which ultimately led her to combine her professional training with her own trauma experience to create this unique work. Her first book, Narrative Healing: Awaken the Power of Your Story will be released on July 18th, but you're about to get a special preview of the wisdom it has to offer.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How stories—particularly trauma—can get stuck in your body, and how writing can be a path to emotional release and healing.
How storytelling allows us to find joy and connection with our communities.
Tips and exercises for getting past writer's block (for instance, how music and physical location can jog your memory).
How to choose the right agent and publisher—what questions to ask and what to look for.
What to expect from your publishing team after you get a book deal.
